Robin and Jane

We were just watching the first episode of Robin Hood and for just a split second I saw a hat that I just love!  It was made out of thick brown yarn, a bit rough with a texture pattern.  The kids weren't too keen on me pausing the show to focus on the hat so all I got to do was rewind and see it very briefly again.  I am very excited because I am going to make my first hat not from a design!  I did make a hat that looks like it was made out of Muppet fur, but it became a hat when I realized I had too little yarn for a capelet.  I don't think I ever sewed up the seam, so I don't think I took a photo. But back to the small screen.  I love the RH hat and I guess I will be trying to take a picture off the television so I can try to figure out how to make one.

The new Miss Marples are out.  I've got three on TiVo and I'm having a lot of fun catching up on them.  Truly a wonderful series with great acting, actors from just about every corner of the British acting world, settings and knitting!

Fiona is knitting again!  She found a kit that a friend had given her before we left Brooklyn and has taken up the needles with no needling from her mama.  I'm so proud!  And it's not just garter stitch.  She picked a pattern with knitting through the front and back of a stitch and yarn overs.  She is not deterred.  Go her!

I came to read your blog after you visited mine - thanks for the comment! I'm always irritating my kids by pausing the TV to look at knitting (or just making stupid comments like "look, a sheep!" or "ooohh, nice knitwear!"). I'll keep reading to see how you do on the Robin Hood hat! (Thanks for the heads-up on Miss Marple, too. I didn't know it was a new series.)
